I liked the black better than the chrome version. I passed it around to other customers at the dealer and we were all amazed how light it is. I got several boxes of ammo and headed up to my favorite shooting spot in the mountains. I set up a soda can about 50-60' and let out a war whoop when I hit it on the very first shot and I continued to make it dance. Now the 44 Special is a big bore and this little gun kicks but is totally manageable. Really fun to shoot. The gun looks great, feels good in my hand, very accurate, it's a keeper, It takes some good effort to pull the trigger but I like that. Watching the Hickok 45 video on You tube convinced me to order it. Bud's took 10 days just to get it out the door but from previous orders I'm used to it and that's what I what I expected.
If you want a powerful hand cannon in a small lightweight package, this is it,

Buds shipping was spot on as usual, really enjoy this little hand cannon. Was wanting a 44 mag but this seems to fit my niche for the power I was looking for. Highly recommended for a "budget" gun.

I bought a Charter Arms Bulldog, 2.5" barrel, black in 44 Special from Buds. As usual, the Buds transaction was smooth and seamless.

However, the quality of the Bulldog was appalling. I have NEVER seen a bore that was drilled visibly, obviously off center in a barrel before now. It is probably 1/32" off center! Since I regard this as an unsafe condition, I have contacted Charter Arms to make good on their defective product. I have not yet heard back, but BUYER BEWARE. I cannot understand how a gun with such an overt flaw was allowed to leave the factory and get into the hands of a buyer.

I purchased a firearm from buds I had no problems with getting my purchase. Buds kept me posted on when my firearm was shipped, and my local ffl dealer had no problems with the trasnfer either. Just what I was looking for keep up the good bizz i'll be looking for another.

Yet another good gun for a resonable price. This 44 special shoots great. I have put about 400 rounds through it. It is a good under the belt or on the ankle gun with power to get the job done.

I received my bulldog and first impression was it was a well-made revolver. However, reading the owner’s manual it states the hammer and trigger should not work with the cylinder swung out (a safety feature i guess). Mine does. Defective out of the box. This is something simple that charter should have caught before it left the factory. Quality control issue? So I have requested a return shipping label and will repost when I get the gun fixed. I hope it will be upgraded to 5 stars when it returns. Buds did a great job getting the gun sent to me. 5 stars for buds, 2 stars for charter at this time.

Received this gun last week (June 2010) from Buds. Took it to the range today and fired 20 rounds through it. I was surprised how accurate this thing is even at 25 yards I was hitting pie plates. Recoil is no issue. I am very pleased with Buds and the Charter Arms .44.
